changing from Desktop to Folder layout

SUMMARY
I can only reproduce this behavior if I have two or more widgets on desktop.
Notes widget shrinks more each time I switch the desktop layout.
My icons are arranged in columns and aligned to right but this behavior also occurs
when icons are arranged in rows and aligned to left.
Watch the attached screen recording please.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. add analog clock and notes widgets to your desktop
2. increase the size of Notes widget
3. change desktop layout

EXPECTED RESULT
widgets size and position on desktop should not change

Shrinking can only be reproduced if I have two or more widgets on desktop.
Widget position changes even if I only have Notes widget on desktop.
